Yes, please see the attached file.
[`form' evaluates to
(save-excursion (set-buffer (car bbdb-complete-name-callback-data))
(apply (quote delete-region) (cdr bbdb-complete-name-callback-data))),
but it's visible from the backtrace just fine]

So it's BBDB-related again, but really Icicles-initiated in this case. I
didn't suspect Icicles originally, as I had it off when invoking
`ibuffer', but now that I tried not even requiring Icicles in my init file,
the problem goes away. Also, even with Icicles loaded, it only happens
the first time `ibuffer' is invoked; so it's probably related to all
those re-initializations Icicles is doing; I'm cc-ing Drew in case he
was interested (icicles.el is Update #: 22624).
